Hare. Times.

These words are in the mouth Of almost
every person who is old enough to talk of
the times. They are adopted as the Ian
guage of complaint or apology by the
great majority of those who are in any
kind of trouble in relation to their BUSH
ness or means of subsistence, and form,
with..somc, the plea'of Incidence or parsi-
mony. But it should be remembered that
there are certain standing facts in the
face of which few can with justice con-
tinue to attribute any great portion of
their real troubles to the hard times. 1t
is yet..true in our country thatsthe indus
trious, prudent man will not suffer want.
Where health is enjoyed there is no excuse
for miserable poverty. The earth pro-
duces her fruits from year to year as free
ly as ever; the materials of mechanical
industry are abundant, and the wants of
our race are not essentially changed, and
our government does not Cat least in conf
parison with many others,) place the few

Of the multitude. The grand sources OF
human enjoyment are neither inaccessible
nor exhausted. If our countrymen will
cheerfully recognize and submit to the
great Law of our existence in this world,
that man must support himself by labor,
and if they will abandon life of specu-
lation and the various modes, both repn-
table and disreputable, Of gambling, they
will find that the great promise Of which
the rainbow is the seal is ever made good.

Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms Of indi-
gestion are present, flatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application of DIR. Bosan-
quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense itch
ing, and efecting permanent cure.

TWO COUNTRY sToRE.KEFPERs TIE
VICTIMS.
Yesterday morning information vas
received in the..city by mail from Cot
tonport, Avoyelles Parish, to the effect
that a gang of armed men had commit
ted an outrage in that place, and hat
made a demonstration having for its
effect the intimidation of merchant
there named Felix Bauer. The mat
ter was reported to Gen. Adolph Mey-
er, of the cotton firm of V. & A. Mey-
er, with which firm Bauer is a cores
pendent and between whom business
relationships exist.
Gov. McEnery was in the city yes
terday, and Gen. Mayer, accompanied
by Mr.. Felix Loeb, Of Loeb & Bro, of
this city, who are cousins of Bauer, re
paired to the St. Charles Hotel and
had an interview with the Governor.
The statement of Bauer is to the effect
that at 2 o'clock on the morning of the
18th inst. a band of armed men, the
number of whom is unknown, appear.
ed in front of Bauers store, in Cotton
port, and opened fire on the building
Some forty or fifty shots were fired, s
number of which penetrated the build
ing, but fortunately without injury te
any person, and doing but trifing da
mage to the stock.
The band then departed, but lef
affixed to the building a paper tt
which vas pasted several clipping
from newspapers, and in writing under
meath them the words: "To f. Baue
and his clerks: A warning-1f fount
here after April ], death to ALL" N
name was signed to the document, an,
Mr.. Bauer writes that he had no clev
nor idea who the perpetrators were
He also said that the Kahn Bros, Q
Evergreen, La, town about tiv
miles from Cottonport, bad been treat
ed in a manner similar to himself, an
had received a like warning. Th
Kahns have father in this city, an
yesterday wrote letter to him reqnes
ting him to forward at once nnmbe
of Winchester repeating rifles and am
munition, which were shipped yeste'
day. Bauer was also supplied wit
arms and ammunition, and it is tbei
intention to remain where they arc an
: fight it out to the last.
Gov. McEnery took the statement
made by Bauer and informed Genera
Meyer that he would attend to tn
matter. He left the city last evenin
on the Mississippi Valley train for BIZ
ton Rouge. He will doubtless con
municate with the authorities in Avt
yelles Parish and instruct them to er
deavor to ascertain who were the pa
ties making the attack on Bauers an
Kahn's stores, and in the event {
their failure, to issue a proclamatio
ofaring reward for their apprehel
sion. Mr.. Loeb stated that Mr.. Ban,
could attribute the attack and warnin
to nothing else than business jealous.

BRO. Puekette, of the Shreveport

Washington, d. e., where he saw Presi-
dent Cleveland, and of whom he says
81 saw the President for not great
while, and, like all people who have seen
him, formed fixed, definite opinion OF
the man. He is frank, manly and sincere,
uses an expletive OF tive when occasion
demands, and leaves his visitor with de-
cidedly favorable opinion of the reality
and earnestness of his character. To get
to see him is not circuitous process, but
plain, simple trip up the steps, through
room or two, unannounced by turnkey,
and you are there. He is decidedly APP
proochable, and overwhelms one with his
dignity not to half the extent of two OF
three Shreveport lawyers that might be
named. He is a good, plain, unpreten-
tious Democrat with convictions and will,
character. He does not like deceit OF
treachery, and when he rebukes such
practices, he uses the veracular unadorned
Altogether he impressed me, both by what
he said and by his manner of saying it
with the conviction that he is good man
to have in the executive chair, and bet

lighting around Richmond, just before
the surrender at Appomattox, Wolse-
ley says: 'Lee had only $1,000 ex-
hausted soldiers to oppose 10000
fresh men under Gen. Grant" In
speaking of the faults of Gen. Lee he
says: "One of them was a too great
dread of wouuding the feelings of 9th.
ers, which led him to leave incompe-
tent men to fill important positions.
This softness of heart or amiability
however good in itself, may amount to
crime in the man intrusted with public
affairs at critical moments. Lees de.
votion to duty and great respect fol
obedience seem at times to have made
him too subservient to those charged
with the civil government of his coun
try. He carried out too literally tht
orders of those whom the Confederat,
constitution made his superiors, al

be entirely ignorant of the science o

GOLDEN RULE ENCAmPMENr.

GOLDEN RULE FEN MPMENT. Celebration or Hts seventeenth Annual Anniversary-A Presentation to Ph1I- 1p Pond
 Golden Rule encampment, I. O. O. F., gave its seventeenth annual banquet at their rooms in the Glebe building last night. About one hundred were present and took part in the festive event. The dining room was filled with tables laden with good things and at g o'clock they began to vanish. The committee who had the affair in charge was composed of J. P. Morrow, George N. Moses, R. Lewis Eager, Norris A. Ray, s. R. Ford and William O. Higgins.
 After supper everybody assembled in the reception room, where remarks on this the seventeenth year of the institution of the lodge and of it's great progress made in that time were appropriately made by Grand High Priest w. H. Cox, Frederick Botsford, Ellery Camp, John Peckham, George Butler, C.. B. Hoggson, Past Chiefs Clemens, Steb- bins and Taylor, Brigadier General 0. B. Foster of the Patriarchs Militant and others The addresses were interspersed with vocal music by Past Chiet M. A. Ray, Past Grand R. Ford and Field. MT. Ford, who is the organist at St. Paul's church, presided at the piano. Those present all agreed that they never had better time.
 During the evening Philip Pond, the treas urer of the encampment, was presented with an elegant ebony gold headed cane. Past Grand Master Moses made the presentation speech. The head of the cane was appro- priately engraved. MT. Pond was complete ly taken by surprise. He is 8 past chief patriarch and past grand master, and has been the treasurer of the encampment for fifteen years, and the eneampment pre- sented him with the cane slight token of the esteem in which he was held for the faithfulness with which he has performed the duties of the offices he has held
